20. Bloodbath in Paradise (No Rest for the Wicked, 1988)

“This one is based on the serial killer Charles Manson and his followers when they played their part in the Sharon Tate murders. Great riff awesome singing and just gives you goosebumps.”

19. Road to Nowhere (No More Tears, 1991)

“Best song! Hands down. Zakk on guitar and off of one of Ozzy’s best albums No More Tears. Hands down. His best song. Love the guitar. It makes me very sad.”

18. Mr. Tinkertrain (No More Tears, 1991)

“Mr. Tinkertrain is definitely one of Ozzy Osbourne’s best hits! It’s got kick ass guitar riffs and although it’s technically about a pedophile, it’s just a great song! Plus, it warns you to be careful in the real world because you never know what people are really like. This song definitely deserves to be in the top 10!”

17. Dreamer (Down to Earth, 2001)

“I love this song. It’s got killer guitar riffs and it warns us to be careful in the real world. This should be in the top ten. It totally deserves more credit than this.”

16. Revelation (Mother Earth) (Blizzard of Ozz, 1980)

“I love Ozzy and have listened to most of his material and I’ve got to say this would have to be my favorite song by him. Randy’s guitar work and Ozzy’s dramatic vocals in this track are what make it so great. Also keep in mind that this song was on “Blizzard of Ozz” which was his first solo album, he was extremely depressed around the time he was fired from Sabbath, Which would make making an album even harder.”

15. I Don’t Know (Blizzard of Ozz, 1980)

“This song has stood the test of time. One of Ozzy and Randy’s best songs. It’s such a powerful song in terms of the melody, lyrics and unbelievable guitar work of Randy Rhoads.

14. See You on the Other Side (Ozzmosis, 1995)

“I just have to say, this is my favorite Ozzy song. It is highly underrated and relatively unknown.. It’s a guitar driven piece thru and thru. Listen to Randy’s guitar work here its just amazing.”

13. Suicide Solution (Blizzard of Ozz, 1980)

“Anything by Ozzy will rock! “Now you live inside the bottle, The reapers traveling at full throttle..” This hits heavy, man, and strangely there’s a sense of poetic beauty to the entire song.”

12. Let Me Hear You Scream (Scream, 2010)

“My personal favorite. I think it should be much higher on the list but its less popular than most of his music and there for less people vote for it even though it has awesome guitar and awesome vocals that make you want to rock out hard core!”

11. Hellraiser (No More Tears, 1991)

“One of the best rhythm and chorus. It’s a unforgettable song for listeners. One of the best rock songs ever made. It makes you remember the. Old days.”

10. Flying High Again (Diary of a Madman, 1981)

“One of Ozzy’s true classic songs, with some excellent shredding from the late Randy Rhoads!”

9. I Don’t Wanna Stop (Black Rain, 2007)

“Epic Song and one of my favorites. Ozzy Osbourne is definitely one of the best musicians that ever lived! He was born to rock!”

8. Over the Mountain (Diary of a Madman, 1981)

“One of my favorite songs by Ozzy. Should be in the top ten if not the top five. Has an epic drum intro and chugging riff. The solo starts at 2:29 and is probably one most memorable solos by Randy Rhoads and is a epic opener for his final album with Ozzy. This song raps up with a final solo similar to the first but with a more concluding finish.”

7. Shot In the Dark (The Ultimate Sin, 1986)

“Just have loved this song since the first moment I downloaded it – a super track! Very catchy indeed, memorable, excellent musically, very 80s, clever, great guitar with good bass and backing drums – it’s a song that has it all and features Ozzy at his absolute best!”

6. Mama, I’m Coming Home (No More Tears, 1991)

“Some of the greatest lyrics ever conceived, Mama, I’m Coming Home is one of the most under-rated songs ever written. It’s rare that you fine meaning this profound in a song. It’s quite the feat writing a song as deep as this one, and Ozzy pulls it off as if it’s nothing. This in my opinion, is his bests song. Songs like Crazy Train, while still featuring profound lyrics and meaning are simply nothing compared to songs such as Mama, I’m Coming Home and Changes.”

5. Diary of a Madman (Diary of a Madman, 1981)

“In my opinion, one of the greatest combination of the Prince of Darkness, and probably his best work: Amazing vocals, amazing guitar-work from king Rhoads and amazing album.”

4. Bark at the Moon (Bark at the Moon, 1983)

“It’s just such a great song! Ozzy isn’t a satanist by the way, you need to get your facts right. Very great guitar sounds, singing voice is clear and pure which make it to a top track.”

3. No More Tears (No More Tears, 1991)

“No More Tears is Ozzy’s masterpiece of the 90’s. This song was made during the height of Ozzy’s Career when he had Zakk Wylde. The 80’s started off great of Ozzy until the passing of the legend Randy Rhoads. Jake E Lee did a good job as it seemed he tried to follow in Randy’s steps but everyone has their own style. When Zakk came along in No Rest For The Wicked or NRFTW; this rejuvenated Ozzy like how Dio rejuvenated ‘Sabbath.”

2. Mr. Crowley (Blizzard of Ozz, 1980)

“The guitar playing in mr crowley is what heavy metal lead guitarists should inspire to be. Randy opened my eyes to classical music being combined with other styles. The best thing sabbath did was kicking ozzy out as his music only got better.”

1. Crazy Train (Blizzard of Ozz, 1980)

” think that this is Ozzy’s greatest song ever. It is #1 in my mind! Ozzy Osbourne is crazy, & a madman. I hope he keeps going until the day he dies. Crazy Train is my second favorite song ever. Under Styx’s “Renegade it is the greatest song in the world.”
